I found a Northern Mockingbird today west of Bloomfield in Davis County. It was along 212th Street, just west of Jade Avenue. Four Red-breasted Mergansers were at nearby Lake Fisher Park.
In Van Buren County, there was a nice concentration of 13 waterfowl sp. in the Fox River area west of Mt. Sterling, in private wetlands along 295th St., 290th St., and Jersey Ave. Also seen there were American White Pelicans, a Cooper's Hawk, and a Rough-legged Hawk. My FOY Eastern Towhee was near Fairfield in Jefferson County today.
